I have a question I have not been able to find an answer to by searching CC. I have Jet-Hot Coated Headers and Side pipes on my SBF. The Side pipes have minor surface rust developing between the tubes as they exit the fender into the mufflers. I have seen pictures lately on CC of black side pipes and I am really beginning to like the look. My car is black with silver stripes and the headers do look good silver but thinking black would be good too.

My question is; can I scuff the Jet-Hot and paint my side pipes black or should they be blasted then painted? Alternatively, have them blasted and get them coated in a matt black finish.

If painting is suitable what is a good recommendation for painting them matte black? In addition, would it be dorky to paint the side pipes black and leave the headers Jet-Hot Coated?

Any input appreciated.
